Global Chemicals Company provides agricultural solutions globally, tackling diverse agricultural challenges. With extensive resources and cutting-edge facilities in Israel, it offers a range of specialized products to customers in numerous countries. As part of its IT strategy, the company is currently shifting its IT landscape to the cloud, including the enterprise content management systems. As a result, Global Chemicals Company wanted to migrate its two Documentum archives to Microsoft SharePoint Online.
The Documentum instances for the production facility and headquarters were used as an archive for a wide range of documents, including PDFs, Excel sheets, Word documents, and Visio files - totaling 500,000+ files in the archives. The project’s objective was to migrate archives, including the file structure, folder structure, and file labeling, to SharePoint Online. Because the documents in the archive are critical for GCC’s operations, it was essential that the content migrated from Documentum would be easily available both during and after the project.
